4-ranked San Diego State, aims to extend its lead atop the Mountain West Conference on Saturday when it hosts reigning league champion Utah State. The Aggies began 2020 with three losses in four conference games, including a 77-68 home defeat to San Diego State on Jan. 4. Since that skid bottomed out in a 79-60 loss Jan. 7 at Air Force, Utah State has won four of its last five. In its previous five-game period against Division I competition, Utah State hit that number just twice. “For the third straight game, we shot better than 50 percent in the second half.”Its last time against San Diego State, Utah State shot just 42.6 percent from the floor.
